VIDEO: Defoe scores again as Spurs send visual best of luck message

The England international made it three goals in two games for new side Toronto FC, while Tottenham booked one of the advertising boards at the game.

Jermain Defoe’s decision to leave Tottenham in search of regular first-team football will not be something that the striker took lightly.

After two spells at White Hart Lane the forward has sentiment towards the North London club – and it is clearly replicated, as Spurs bought one of the advertising boardings at the Canadian club’s game against DC United to voice their support for the striker.

Defoe has stated that he hopes that regular game time in the MLS will see him included in England’s World Cup squad this summer, and the veteran poacher has started his time at his new club well.
